Suggestion: publish a live demo of the "needle playground". It's small enough that it should be pretty cheap to run this on a little VPS somewhere!

Should be quick and easy with WebGPU, too.

That's an even better idea, I bet this could run in Transformers.js.

Good idea. Could you make that.

thanks, yeah, the problem is just handling scale, we don't have the infra ready to go, but anyone can do that. Its easy for people to run on their laptops straight up. Will try the VPS route.

Deployed it to a huggingface space: https://huggingface.co/spaces/benoitfavre/needle-playground

You can check the very simple docker file there.

Here's the Dockerfile, it's delightfully simple https://huggingface.co/spaces/benoitfavre/needle-playground/...

Thanks!

Alternatively, record a video that showcases it.

Ok, will do that now!

I know we all think of bad things when we hear "short form video" but short demos can do a LOT for any project, shows the user how its used, what it looks like, what it solves, etc all in anywhere from 15 seconds to a couple of minutes, doesn't need to be ultra fancy, screen recording is fine. :)

Since there is no GUI here, I feel like a simple plaintext chat transcript would be both 100x smaller and 100x easier to read. (Not to mention accessible.)

Sure, and we've seen those terminal screen recorders that give you back a replayable demo, that could work too.

Yes, a demo might be a good idea.
